There are a ton of reasons we tell ourselves we’re not going to workout. Not feeling well, not having enough time, or not having the right equipment. If you have joint problems, then you’re likely going to want to do low-impact workout sessions. Should you be in search of equipment that will help you reach your goals, then an elliptical trainer is likely ideal. The only problem is how big those things are.

It’s winter time, so we all need ways to protect our hands, and simultaneously be able to get to our phones. There are a ton of touchscreen gloves out there, but how many of them fit properly, or are made of a material that you like? If you already have a pair of gloves, wouldn’t it be nice if you could just convert them?

When you travel a lot, the one thing you’re conscious of most is space, because there’s never have enough room to pack in everything you need. So when you find a gadget that combines several functions in one, and also does it quite well, you tend to take notice. Which is why we decided to take a close look at a small rugged portable speaker which does a lot more than you’d expect for the money.

At this time of year you’ll find a whole bunch of elves running around, tying up parcels and helping out in the frozen North. But one elf you’ll find in warmer climes has very little to do with children’s toys and everything to do with making transport a more ecologically friendly affair.

If you’ve ever hunted around to try and find out what fonts you have on your Windows PC, you’ll know that it’s not that easy to do. Most of the time you’ll end up firing up a word-processor to see if you can put in a phrase and run through the font options from the top menu. It’s cumbersome and annoying.

We’re all concerned with looks. One of the biggest things that we try and keep up with is our face. Wrinkles, zits, scars, and more can show up, and it’s always a balancing act of concealing or healing what we don’t like. Some people are very concerned with aging appearing on their face, and there are many ways to prolong its effects. The Hands Free Facial Muscle Toner will exercise the muscles in your face without asking you to do…

Have a roommate that likes to borrow clothes? How about a coworker who likes to take all of your paper clips? If you have a sneaking suspicion that someone is meddling in things they ought not meddle in, then you’re going to want proof that something is up. Installing security equipment is taking things a bit far, but you can always downsize and still get the job done without anyone noticing.

There’s a good chance that the holiday decorations are already up and spreading that Christmas cheer in your living room. Everyone differs in how they decorate. Some use colored lights, tinsel, bells, or popcorn on a string. The list goes on and on. During this frigid season, it’s nice to have reminders of the seasons to come, but you don’t want to spoil the here and now.

There are folks for whom small is never enough. They’re the people who think microSD is too clunky for life, while most of the rest of us are searching under the couch for that crucial missing 32GB. So for those ultra miniature freaks, they will be pleased to hear that work is underway to make USB flash drives even smaller than ever.

It’s clear from your vibe, dear reader, that you’re a person of taste and discernment. You’re not one for baubles, you want things that deliver value, pure naked value with no messing around. For instance we can tell that you’ll not be satisfied with just one charging port for your devices, you’ll be needing a bunch of them, and more – much more -functionality than you can shake a stick at.

A research group in Japan has been working on a new technology which will produce rechargeable batteries using sugar rather than conventional metals. The scientists are trying to replace the rare and expensive components of current rechargeable batteries, such as lithium, with more abundant and therefore cheaper materials.

While there are a lot of us who like to travel, not all of us end up in places that have a washer and dryer readily available. Of course, you want to have clean clothes handy, but that means you need to find a way to clean them without dunking them in the nearest puddle. There are lots of mini washing machines out there, but how many are portable?

There’s a good chance you’re acquainted with steampunk by now, right? For those of you that aren’t, think of Victorian era futurism. It’s a bit like what things would have been like if the technology from Star Trek existed during the 19th century. People love to dress up as if they are from a time that never was, and possibly the most annoying thing about being in period dress is pulling out a smartphone and ruining the illusion.

If you’ve ever gotten to sit by a fire, you know how mesmerizing it can be to watch the flames. Things spark, pop, and it almost feels as if they’re dancing. You wouldn’t normally think of a fire as a form of entertainment, but with the right additions, it definitely could be!
